Hospital for Endocrine Surgery observes World Thyroid Day

Tampa, FL — In recognition of World Thyroid Day, the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery, a part of HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital, is joining the global effort to raise awareness about thyroid health while reaffirming its commitment to providing cutting-edge care through the latest scarless surgical thyroid procedures. Most recently, the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery began offering thyroid surgery through one small hidden incision that does not involve an incision on the neck and eliminates visible scarring.

Thyroid disorders – ranging from hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism to thyroid nodules and cancer – affect millions of people worldwide. World Thyroid Day is a time to emphasize the importance of early detection, diagnosis and access to effective treatment options.

“Thyroid conditions can significantly impact quality of life, but modern surgical innovations are changing the treatment options for patients,” said Dr. Eyas Alkhalili, Endocrine Surgeon at the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery. “Our robotic approach not only improves recovery time, but also offers excellent cosmetic outcomes without visible scarring.”

The Hospital for Endocrine Surgery encourages the community to take thyroid health seriously. Symptoms such as fatigue, unexplained weight changes, neck swelling or mood shifts should not be ignored. For more information, visit: Hospital for Endocrine Surgery
